A plastic surgeon was sued for causing a fire during an eye lift procedure

“Shafer was using an electrocauterizing tool to seal off small blood vessels in Corrado’s eyelids when the device generated a spark that caused a flash fire over Corrado’s face.

The fire spread to surgical draping around Corrado’s head and along a plastic tube that had been run up her neck, taped to her chin and inserted into her nose. The fire also burned hair on her face and head.”
